From 575f59f9bc7c59a5e41a081d1f5f55fc859c5012 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] [1.4.x] Fixed DoS possiblity in contrib.auth.views.logout()
Refs #20936 -- When logging out/ending a session, don't create a new, empty session.
Previously, when logging out, the existing session was overwritten by a
new sessionid instead of deleting the session altogether.
This behavior added overhead by creating a new session record in
whichever backend was in use: db, cache, etc.
This extra session is unnecessary at the time since no session data is
meant to be preserved when explicitly logging out.
Backport of 393c0e24223c701edeb8ce7dc9d0f852f0c081ad,
088579638b160f3716dc81d194be70c72743593f, and
2dee853ed4def42b7ef1b3b472b395055543cc00 from master
Thanks Florian Apolloner and Carl Meyer for review.
This is a security fix.
